Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown.
As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them.
So the family went and lived in a town called Nazareth. This fulfilled what the prophets had said: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.”
